Location
Palace Farm & Cottages is located close to the English and Welsh border in rural Herefordshire with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, yet only 11 miles from Hereford, the county town. Hereford provides amenities and facilities including shopping, restaurants, a cinema, theatre, dental practice, doctors’ surgery and secondary school.
Hereford is well known as a tourist location due to its cathedral and its location on the River Wye. The town provides a mainline railway station with London Paddington service.
The nearest village is St Weonards, located on the A466, 1 mile away, with church, post office and stores. The village of Orcop is 2 miles away with village hall, church and The Fountain Inn pub, known for good food within the area.
The picturesque market town of Ledbury (25 miles away) and Monmouth (8 miles away) are easily accessible. The independent Monmouth School has a nationally recognised reputation for excellence.
Local tourist attractions include the Royal Forest of Dean which is extremely popular for mountain biking and outdoor pursuits. In addition, the Wye Valley is renowned for its canoeing, walking, cycling and horse riding. Symonds Yat is a popular tourist attraction with boat trips available and a pub that overlooks the river. Symonds Yat Rock is regularly used in filming due its picturesque nature. Local tourist attractions in the area include the Forest Railway, Goodrich Castle (English Heritage), Tintern Abbey, Go Ape, the Beechenhurst Forest Centre, Weir Garden at Swainshill (National Trust), the Haugh Wood Butterfly Trail at Hereford, Big Pit National Coal Museum and Hampton Court Castle.
The Business
The holiday letting business was established in 2020 and the current owners have invested significantly in refurbishing the property to provide three high-quality holiday cottages as well as the detached bungalow. The business is currently promoted through their website, as well as through Sykes Cottages, Airbnb, ManorCottages.co.uk, Vrbo, and Booking.com. Marketing efforts are also supported by social media platforms including Facebook, and the cottages have reviews on both TripAdvisor and Google.
All three cottages within the farmhouse can be booked together, accommodating up to 12 guests in total. The unique selling point of the property is the land and the equestrian facilities including high-quality stabling and 64m x 24m manège with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
The land has the potential to be used for glamping, while the barn adjoining the farmhouse could be converted into an additional holiday cottage, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The barn has already undergone significant external improvements, including a new roof and windows, and now requires an internal fit out. There is potential to connect it directly to the farmhouse to create an adjoining
holiday cottage. Alternatively, it could be transformed into a unique guest amenity such as a cinema room or a vaulted-ceiling party/dining space. Subject to gaining the necessary consents.
Gross turnover year ending March 2025 of £66,390, £56,610 in 2024 and £24,170 in 2023.
Trading information can be provided to bona fide purchasers.

The kitchen includes a breakfast bar positioned to enjoy the views.
On the ground floor, there is a utility room equipped with a dog shower. Both Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 benefit from en-suite shower rooms, and there’s an additional cloakroom.
Outside, the property offers a gated gravel parking area to the side, leading to a rear patio area and enclosed gardens which are mainly laid to lawn. (Sleeps 4)
The Annexe
Adjoining the farmhouse is a self-contained annexe with its own entrance porch leading into a hallway with doors to rooms.
